2014 - 2015 cruise season

9 years ago

Info from the Tourism Office here.
Number of ships stopping in Mvd and Punta del Este was down 27%. Most of the visitors were from Brazil and Argentin.

Cruise visitors valued Uruguayans' cordiality, the architecture and monuments of Montevideo, the meat market, the open spaces, beaches and the sea side promenade, plus safety and easy going attitude of locals.

On the negative side, high prices, closed stores, lack of hygiene and money exchange rates.

Likewise in Punta del Este, the positive aspects were the people, beaches, cleanliness, safety, natural environment and gastronomy.

However on the bad side, poor services, lack of easy access, traffic issues, few or no stores next to the landing point and as in Montevideo the money exchange rate.
